That's a very based take!

The whole idea of a PM boils down to address a less qualified non technical middle man to make all the important decisions, while also pigeon hole your communications with the rest of the stakeholders.

Why does this role even exist is beyond me.

It's like we can't trust the engineers with any important decisions, so we need some business guy who took a two week course and now is suddenly qualified to be calling all the shots.

It is easier to build an engineering team when you don't expect them to be product-minded in addition to being technically proficient.
